Planas' negotiation with farmers is stuck waiting for the Economy and Treasury to finalize the aid. "Planas has made a move, but is awaiting approval from the economic ministries," sources in the negotiations say.

The organizations that negotiate with the Government continue to go out in isolation in different parts of the country. Unión de Uniones has called for a large rally for March 17 in Madrid due to the lack of "concrete measures" from the Government. "The vast majority think that the proposed measures are insufficient," says one agricultural professional association.
